Laundry, towels, wash cloths were all old and well worn. Room was clean. Pool was clean and in good condition, for an older pool. Check-in was easy and quick. The stay was fine with no issues.

Only a mile or so from Downtown Salida, I think it’s less than 1.5 miles. It’s a no frills budget option but clean and safe. We did a last minute trip to Mt Princeton Hot Springs and the price was great so we booked it. Buena Vista is closer but the prices reflect that convenience.

Great For MTB Bro’s Just Looking For A Crash Pad

Does the job for some MTB bros from out of town needing a place to crash for a night. Only place last minute that had three beds (King & Two queens) i.e. a family suite. Older place, on the outside, old furniture on the inside. Beds were very firm, pillows very firm. Lots of towels were already provided. Motel style is great for bringing bikes into the room. Lots of road noise. Has a pool and sauna we didn’t use. But, hey, you get what you paid for.

It is an older family run hotel. Clean but dated. We had a room with 2 queens beds in with a wall that had a cutout window (different). Bathroom was clean but a weird layout. I shopped around for best price in town and they were it so my expectations were not the highest so I would say good price for the money.

Room is spacious, very clean, nicely decorated, and has what looks like fairly new carpet! Definitely a Mom and Pop operation. Very sweet welcome and blessing posted next to the door. Don't see that at a Hampton Inn or Motel 6!

On the main St so getting around was easy. Room was excellent. As a couple with phones, oxygen, and 2 cpap machines we were pleasantly surprised​ to find many surge protectors, so plugging in was easy.
